It's easy to fit in with the street rod scene while being unique all at the same time... All it takes is this 1940 Chevrolet Special Deluxe coupe. After all, it has the classic big fender looks and rumbling V8 we all love, but there are very few full bow tie customs that show up to the party.Sinisterly black and seriously custom... that's the first impression this coupe makes. No need to chop the pre-war steel because with the front bumper removed and the stance lowered, this one already has the intimidation factor of a freight train. In the rear the black paint has the right amount of gloss to reveal just how well Chevy could craft its steel in 1940. The black also has the right amount of gloss that makes a great complement to the chrome grille and 17-inch Riddler wheels. The final touch is a red pinstripe down both sides to remind you this one can still draw blood.Inside are plenty of reminders that this custom build has comfort and quality in mind. It starts with the gray tweed on the seats and door panels that look exceptionally fresh. The front buckets even have a cool Betty Boop cartoon embroidered in the headrests. While she is a symbol for pre-war America, those seats have the bolstering to offer far more modern luxury. Comfort is a key factor in this interior with a center console that has cup holders for both front and rear passengers. There's also an AM/FM/CD stereo system and air conditioning. But while that keeps everyone entertained and comfortable, you get the most fun with the Grant sports steering wheel, Hurst shifter, and full set of Classic Instruments gauges.Under the hood is plenty of Chevy power. The 350 cubic-inch small block looks fantastic with the polished air cleaner, alternator, and valve covers. But beyond just style, you get the substance of performance upgrades that includes a Holley four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock Hi-Rise intake. While this powerplant makes a great sound out of the dual exhaust, there also is a practical side with components like the aluminum radiator to keep you cool in traffic. And that's exactly how to see this street rod an intimidation machine that's really meant to be an easy driver. You see it in other features, too, such as the updated independent front suspension with disc brakes and power steering. Add in the three-speed automatic transmission and the grip of modern low profile tires, and this coupe is an easy choice for more than just Sunday drives to the car show.Great looks, great features, and a unique personality this is the turnkey street rod for those who enjoy driving their classics and standing out while doing it. Don't miss this opportunity to be different. Call today!!!
